As the new season of spring commences, it brings with it a wonderful chance to go outside and enjoy the night sky. Early spring nights still have the winter showcase of Orion, the Hunter and his friends; plus, Leo, the Lion, reminds us of the warmer weather ahead. There will be a chance to observe seasonal deep-sky objects and visible planets through telescopes and a short presentation on the sky.
